“What we’ve proven at Nick’s is that you don’t need to be a large, sexy, headline grabbing company to have a great culture. You can reap all the benefits of a world class culture—including more enthusiastic teams, lower attrition, more innovation, better customer service and, ultimately, better financial performance— by disciplining yourself and your organization to make the company’s culture a high-priority consideration in every decision you make and every action you take. It may be counterintuitive, but I know that unique, inspiring, transformative cultures are latent within even the smallest, most ordinary, most commoditized and most poorly performing of organizations. Even the humble pizza parlor or corner grocery has the potential to change the world. What’s required is for leaders to define the desired culture and work single-mindedly to nurture it and make it real.”
